The Huntington Prep star, who was the nation’s consensus No. 1 recruit for the class of 2013 and recently chose Kansas as his fall destination, wrote a note to express his gratitude, and the Huntington Herald-Dispatch got a copy of it.

It reads, in part:

“I just wanted to thank Huntington for your support for me and my Huntington Prep teammates and coaches these past two years. Without the community, none of what has been accomplished would have been attainable. I hope that when you hear or read my name, you are proud to say I played my high school days here in Huntington. Because I am proud to say I played here. …

“One of the best things about my experience here is St. Joseph Central Catholic H.S. where we all attend. There are a lot of good people in that building from the principal to the teachers to the janitor; I will never forget all the positive influences they have been in my development as a young man. My peers at St. Joe have also been supportive of me and have always treated me as one of their own. I am not different, just a kid, and at St. Joe I could be. Thank you.”

In classic Wiggins way, he did it in a low-key manner. He simply let the local paper be his mouthpiece. And the janitor shout-out is perhaps the best.
